“Alexa was great! She was very communicative before meeting her as well as during the time she was caring for our dog. She sent detailed updates of how she cared for our dog and sent several pictures daily. Our dog actually seem to be better on leash walking without pulling after we got back home:) In addition to taking great care of our dog, she took great care of our plants and our house. We would not hesitate to reach out to her again if the need arrises. We highly recommend Alexa if you need a trusted/reliable care giver for your pet. Thanks Alexa!”
About: I’ve taken care of 2 cats for 6 years in my own home, and have cared for multiple dogs for family friends! I just really enjoy walking and caring for pets knowing I can’t have my own right now! My work schedule is almost entirely created by me, so my flexibility allows me to have time weekends, mornings and evenings to take care of your pet! I’m pretty flexible with whatever type of care is needed in my clients home! Im willing to learn new things along the way if a certain pet needs specific care.
“Thank you so much! You were wonderful. I cannot thank you enough for making our first experience with Rover and yourself so easy and satisfying. I will for sure recommend you to everyone I know.”
“Darla was our first dog sitter outside of family for our two boys. I was hesitant to get a sitter because our older dog can be a little moody and gets depressed when we leave. We decided to give it a try and glad we did because Darla did a wonderful job. She put us and our boys at ease so we could enjoy our trip, we will definitely be asking her to sit again!”
“This was my first time having Meamea stay with Charlie and definitely not my last, she was amazing! I received lots of updates with photos. The house was as clean as I left it. She's a joy to work with, very upbeat.”
“Carey did a great job taking care of our dog while we were away. She kept us updated on his activities, shared several pictures, and made sure he was well looked after. She also took good care of our home, which we really appreciated. We’d be happy to book her again in the future and would recommend her to others looking for a reliable dog sitter!”
“Tammy has provided dog-sitting and drop-in/walking services for me a few times now, and she always is super communicative, follows all care instructions, and sends lots of photos and videos. My dog Bowie loves her! Highly recommend her.”
About: Hi, I'm Dani 👋🏼 I love animals! I have been caring for animals since I was a young child. Growing up people used to call our house a zoo! I’m familiar with cats and dogs, of course. Additionally I was raised with lots of birds and small animals like bunnies & rats, too. I am comfortable around dogs of all sizes and have experience with various breeds like Shar-pei's, Golden Retrievers, Labradors, Border Collies and more! I have many years of cat experience as well. I will be sure to keep your kitty's food bowl full and fresh water offered daily in a clean bowl. I will keep their litter box clean and be sure to cuddle and play with them as much as they prefer! I'll also be happy to provide any enrichment or treats like catnip or canned food/tuna. I know some cats are snuggle bugs while others prefer their space and I will happily provide what your kitty needs while respecting their space and boundaries. I currently work from home as a FT rover sitter which means my entire day will revolve around keeping your pup company and entertained. I am available for boarding, house sittings & drop ins when needed. Due to my flexible schedule I can also accept last minute bookings! As a helicopter dog mom you can be sure your fur baby will be safe while in my care. Because I don’t have a yard I take my pup on daily adventures! Whether it’s to the park to play with other dogs, on hikes or a beach walk (I live right across the street) your fur baby will surely have lots of fun when staying with me! I currently have a friendly 3 y/o border collie who love to make new friends, especially since he recently lost his big brother. I also have a cat who’s been raised around dogs his whole life and is very patient. I am clean and organized, you can trust that both your fur babies and home will be in good hands when booking with me. As a nanny in my past I know how important it is to come home to happy and tired babies as well as a nice clean home! When boarding in my home I can provide food/water bowls, poop bags/leashes, clean beds/blankets and lots of different toy options. I also have various enrichment toys like snuffle mats, puzzles, lick mats etc. I have one large dog cage available for use. Of course if it makes your pup more comfortable to have their own items that is perfectly fine too! I'll be sure to keep track of their belongings and return items clean and cared for. Communication is essential, please stay in contact with me before and during boarding/sitting. Please notify me when your are on your way for pick-up and drop-off. I am happy to provide multiple photo updates throughout the day so you can keep up with your pups adventures! If you will be without service for an extended period please let me know beforehand. If you have any questions or concerns please let me know, I aim to make each boarding/sitting experience easy and stress free for both humans and fur babies.
“Nick was very professional throughout the entire process, respectful of our home, followed instructions well, and most importantly, took great care of our 2 Shih Tzus. We also received updates via photos and videos, which was lovely! We look forward to booking Nick again in the future.”
“Forest has a great energy for animals - my dog Badger seemed to like them right away during the meet & greet. Forest asked thoughtful questions about Badger’s care & instructions and I received regular updates during the multi-day sitting. I felt confident about the quality of care Badger received.”
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I am constantly around and animals and having to commit myself to taking care of them. I am willing to learn and adapt to taking care of each individual dog as needed to fulfill any needs. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving and caring for them. I have experience with both elderly dogs and puppies as young as just a few days old. I am currently available full time during the summer for any drop ins or house sitting when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. When in your home I would love to take your babies for walks, to the dog park, or anything else that is a part of their normal routine to make them more comfortable!
“This was our first time using Rover and Briana and Jared, and let me tell you it was a great experience. We have never left our dog with people other than friends or friends of friends so we were nervous, but that was relieved after meeting Briana and Jared who are both animal lovers. Briana works at a vet hospital so that was a relieve right there. They sent us multiple updates and pictures on how well they treating and spoiling our Olive. They took her on multiple walks, a hike, gave her homemade treats, lots of cuddles and playtime. It was an amazing first experience and we definitely will use Briana again if she wants us. Thank you!”
About: Big dogs: have had personally all my life ranging from training a young pup to caring for aging "pup" Cats: cared for but never owned Other pets with which I have experience: parakeets, bunnies, turtle, fish, pigs, chickens, frogs, and even peacocks! I have dozens of reviews/references on other platforms and am more than happy to share them. Rates are open to discussion, especially for house sitting bookings. Thanks! I’m in a transitory phase of my life currently and can manage most of my obligations remotely, so I thought I’d give this a try! I’ve completed a Cat and Dog First Aid course through The Red Cross, so yours are in good hands :) I know what it's like to worry about your home and pet's well-being when you're going to be away for a while. Leaving your little bundle of love at a kennel or pet hotel is not an option that anyone wants to consider! I’m in a transitory phase of my life currently and can manage most of my obligations remotely.
About: I have raised dogs all my life and can handle most any breed. I am also a private driver and can arrange your ride to and from the airport. I do pet care, and I am a private driver. My house is your pets' house while they are with me. I am in the yard gardening and playing with animals daily. Your pet will be part of the family while they are with me. We will go on walks and exercise to maintain a happy and relaxed experience for your family members. The house has a fenced yard with plenty of room for exercise and play.
“Abigal-Lynne was great! She took good care of our pets, gave us frequent updates and pictures, and left our home clean and cared for. Thanks again Abigal for the last minute set up! Would definitely book with her again.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I have always been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends. I’m dependable, patient, and truly love spending time with animals—whether it’s for an outdoor stroll, engaging playtime, or relaxing together on the couch. I treat every pet like my own and always aim to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work full-time Monday through Thursday, but I’m often available for evening walks or drop-ins during the week. From Thursday night through Sunday night, I’m available for overnight stays or extended visits at your home. I’m not able to host pets in my own home since I have a cat who prefers to have the space to herself, but I’m more than happy to care for your pets in their familiar environment where they feel most comfortable.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Huntington Beach is $63
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Huntington Beach
Robert is always so great with our two dogs. They are always happy to see him and I get the comfort of knowing they are well taken care off. He follows instructions I leave and is always quick to respond. He has helped us last minute more than a few times! Definitely recommend, Robert. You're pets are in good hands with him!
Kristina did an amazing job taking care of our home and our dog, Pumba, while we were away! My husband and I have a very long and detailed list of instructions for Pumba’s care, and Kristina followed every single detail to a T. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Pumba and our home were in such great hands. Kristina was wonderful, and her dog, Daisy, is also a cutie who kept Pumba company! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and highly recommend Kristina to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and caring.
Samantha was such a great sitter to our pup! She met all his needs and he was very comfortable with her. Samantha went above and beyond with our pup. We are particular about his diet and we don't have him on any sort of flea treatment, so she cooked homemade meals for him every day and applied natural remedies exactly the way we requested. She was awesome! Highly recommend her if you need a live-in dog sitter. She also watched over our house very well and kept everything very tidy.
Natasha was excellent! She took great care of our house and, most importantly, our dog Rusty while we were away. Rusty can be a handful and has a pretty specific routine, but Natasha followed everything we asked and made us feel completely comfortable leaving him in her care. She was responsible, communicative, and respectful of our home, and we came back to everything clean and exactly as we left it. It was clear Rusty was well cared for and got plenty of attention while we were gone. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust Natasha to house and dog sit for us again. Highly recommend!
We feel so lucky to have had Dayna watch our doggies!! Our dogs usually get very stressed when we’re away for a few days, but this time was completely different. They were so excited to see Dayna, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Dayna was attentive, caring, and followed their regular routine so they felt comfortable and at home. She also gave our senior dog the extra care and attention he needed. Dayna kept in great communication with us throughout our time away, which was so reassuring and allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our trip. When we came home, our dogs were happy, relaxed pooches—and that says everything! We finally feel comfortable going away knowing our doggies are happy, well cared for, and not stressed while we’re gone. We truly appreciate Dayna and feel so grateful to have found someone we can trust.
Jenna did an outstanding job watching our dog, Paloma, overnight in our home! She communicated well & provided photo & updates regularly. She followed all of our directions perfectly. She really cared for Paloma with tenderness, kindness & compassion. We would absolutely recommend Jenna & look forward to having her watch Paloma again!
We had an amazing experience! She communicated with us throughout the entire stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She took wonderful care of our dog, making sure he got all of his medications three times a day, and it was clear he was well loved and cared for. She also took exceptional care of our home. Everything was spotless, organized, and exactly as we left it. She even went above and beyond by washing and drying the towels and sheets before we got home, which was such a thoughtful surprise. I would absolutely book her again for dog and house sitting in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and caring!
Mayumi and Zackary were as delightful as they were attentive to caring for our thirteen year old blind & deaf dog, Honey - I immediately felt the professionalism and attention to detail during the meet and greet. Communication was seamless and extra sweet photos of Honey much appreciated!! Will definitely book again! Cheers!

FAQs for House Sitting - Huntington Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Huntington Beach is $60 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $122 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 7,628 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Huntington Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Huntington Beach walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Huntington Beach maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Huntington Beach choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Huntington Beach. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
